Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms and Anger and Aggression in Russian Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Aggression is a multifaceted behavior that involves cognitive, behavioral, and affective components. Although aggressive behaviors are commonly observed among individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), potential sex-specific aspects of the association between ADHD symptoms and different components of aggression need to be evaluated, while also controlling for comorbid problems.

Method

In the present cross-sectional study, self-reported data were collected from 2,838 adolescents (mean age = 14.89 years) from Russia on ADHD symptoms and cognitive (anger rumination, aggressive beliefs), behavioral (physical, verbal, social, proactive), and affective (trait anger) aspects of aggression as well as comorbid emotional and conduct problems.
